“Gottfried Mocke made some classy Pinot Noirs when he was at Cape Chamonix and he clearly hasn’t lost his touch. Now in its second vintage, this is a scented, well-balanced cuvée of Dijon clones 113 and 115 with 50% each of new wood and whole bunches. Pepper, fresh tobacco and vanilla notes are supported by sweet red berry fruit. 2021-26.”

“Ripe red fruit, but with marked floral aromas and some subtle herbal notes typical of stems, and a clay-like earthy note. Juicy palate, full of violets and blueberries. Finely crafted, with supple, light tannins and a long, perfumed finish.”
